Winter

Author: Winter in our region doesn’t mean snow but it can be chilly and frosty…
… we are really glad to have a pellet oven!
I wrote about a convenient and free cleaning preparation for the resins on the window. Please click here if interested.
Our garden has still things growing…
… and even our mystery plant is growing higher. Maybe she will reveal some buds some day and we can identify her.
In a corner were the hazel tree grows we found a ‘Drosselschmiede’ (translated thrush smithy)
A thrush has collected all hazelnuts in a hollow log and opened them on a stone.
The cocoon of the Emperor moth is still in our house and I am curious when we will see the moth.
Outside some bumble bees are still buzzing around.
But the cold weather makes them lazy and I guess they prefer now to stay underground in their homes.
I enjoy the last rose…
… and welcome new eucalyptus blossoms.
Winter in New Zealand is soooooo different from what I grew up and I miss the walks into the snowy forest to visit trees with squirrels peeking out…
… and feeding the wild live with hay and apples…
